Croatia Part II - Sailing from Dubrovnik to Split


The next week we relaxed on a boat with thirty people from all over the world (mostly Australian but there was the odd kiwi as well). We had signed up for the eight day cruise from Dubrovnik to Split. On our first morning we woke up to find the boat had already set off and was powering through crystal blue waters under a perfect summer sky. The only problem was that after a big night out in Dubrovnik, Isaac never made it back onto the boat. He managed to get a ferry to our next port though so it all worked out.




It was an incredible week. We woke each morning to find the boat underway and beautiful clear waters and incredible views all around. During the day we’d sunbathe, jump from the boat and swim in natural bays, and occasionally pick up a textbook for our upcoming exams. We visited a national park and beautiful old towns.





In the afternoons we’d reach the next little town or city and explore the area. Each town was picturesque, with terracotta and white houses lining the hills down the beach. Dinner was either fresh seafood or amazing pizza, before heading out for the night.











Unfortunately the days went by far too quickly and before we knew it we were arriving in Split for our last night. At about 5am the next morning I decided sleep was never going to happen (a combination of music and a loved-up couple in the room next door) so I went for a quick look around the city to see the Old Town and the markets being set up for the day. Then it was another poorly planned but economic bus ride back to Vienna for a couple of exams before summer holidays.
